It's weird, right!? I can really only describe it as, the leg turned pink, then red, then started to swell, then got bigger until it looked deformed and broke through the scales. I've searched the internet for hours and haven't found anything??? Now the spots are spreading to new areas. Like...

I did have bumble foot and leg mites in a couple other chickens, but this one was clear. Unfortunately we don't have any vets that look at chickens where I'm from. I live in North Dakota and when I asked a vet once about something, I got a blank stare, along with-It's a chicken!

Anyone have any idea what this is or how to treat it! She's still eating, drinking, tail up...just slower. I'm sure it hurts. I soaked her in an epsom salt bath tonight. Also, it seems to be almost imploding from within. It started red, got more swollen, and then tonight one spot was actually...

It makes me wonder what's going on cause yesterday I had to cut the outer membrane off a chick that had shell only on its back and head. The test was gone but she was wrapped in the om. ???

I wet it again and cut a tiny bit back. Her eye is open now. I rolled the inner m back a bit but got a teeny teeny bit of blood so I put her back. However now the other side of the egg is crushed in. I'm wondering if mom is stepping on it accidentally. Mom keeps getting up to show the first two...

I went to wet the inner membrane and the blood seems to be slowly drying up. Also, the chick is making chirping motions but isn't making any actual noise. I haven't heard it cheep once! It's head is going up and down and seems to be trying to get out.

I have 8 eggs under my Cochin and noticed this one was cracked early this afternoon. It's day 19 for this one. It wasn't the typical pip with a hole. More like she just pushed up a spot. I checked an hour ago and the shell was off, the outer membrane dry and separated from the inner, which was...

I live in northern North Dakota and we had an early cold snap with -2 degrees with -13 wind chills at night. My coop is 4 by 6 foot old wooden playhouse that is made not very airtight (however not drafty on the chickens). There is insulation board on the walls but the roof is tin with just...

I've been having the same issue the last 2 days w my 20 week old ameracauna. Hunched down, feathers fluffed, not eating or drinking much. Plus after I left them out of the coop she wont exit. She stays roosted. I did notice her poop was green yesterday, but I'm assuming it's grass. I would...

Thanks everyone for your responses. We live in North Dakota, so yes, it gets very cold here in the winter. I was thinking the same thing about new chicks and the transition. The existing chickens were the ones who were skittish to begin with and farthest down in the pecking order so they...

We got most of our chickens as day-old chicks and they were going to start laying around the next month or so. There were 9 chickens...hand raised and super tame. This morning I let them out of the coop but didn't lock the dog kennel thinking I would remember the chickens were out and would...
